Oram: By all that's holy would you mind tuning it down some?
Oh! *whispers* Sorry... look I've heard that the folks on this moon 've got some kind o' special physic for, huh... wha' was it... body tensions, muscle aches and... sorenessness? Soreness? *Oram rolls eyes*
I figure it's gotta work for hangovers too, I and I'm fairly bent on giving it a shot. Y' wanna come?
*takes ice pack from her head to give mobbex a look*
Ya offering me an olive branch there merc? because I'm taking it... *stuggles to get off the couch*
Where is this place anyway? And the important question.... how far do we have to walk?

*shrugs* I don't know. We'll just... ask around.
*Mobbex and Oram exit from the ship*
*Mobbex spots one off the locals and calls him out* You there, y' know where I can find the quack who says he can cure hangovers?
*The native gives them a quizzical look, then gestures them toward the hills surrounding the spaceport*
*Mobbex and Oram sigh and make for the hillside*

*mobbex thumps on the door, then shouts* 'Anybody home?
*a rawboned old man comes to answer* Yes? You are here for business?
Mobbex: My head feels like it's gonna rip itself apart...
Old man:*smiles and motions for them to come in* Yes, yes. You have come to rite place, you have. I will ready your accommodations, you may talk to young man behind counter for payment.
Oram: Ready our wh... ?
*mobbex cuts in*
Mobbex: Sure, fine, whatever. *heads over to the counter* So, how much?
Young man behind counter: Ten plat'nums each.
Mobbex: Ten? I'm thinkin' y' should have another look at those price charts of yours, 'cause I'm readin' five.
Young man: *casts an eye over the charts* No, sir, I'm pretty sure that's a ten.
Mobbex: *leans forward* Kid, you suggestin' I can't read?
Young man: Off... course not. Sir. Five apiece, my mistake.

*abbey stirs in infirmary and slowly opens her eyes. The glare from the room lights cause her to shut them quickly. She groans and opens her eyes again. She tries to get up but is too tired and decides to settle back down on the infirmary bed. She doesn't remember how long it was since she has felt this tired - oh wait - it was the last time this happened. She mutters to herself.*
Gorram it! Rutting pain killers! How long have I been here?
*she picks at the IV in her arm, but leaves it alone after a minute. She musters some strength and calls out weakly.*
Is anyone out there? Oram?

*pays the young man behind the counter, Oram gives him an apologetic look as she and Mobbex walk into the building…. She nearly bumps into Mobbex’s large back as he’s stopped suddenly*
Mobbex: What the gorram hell is this?!!
*Oram looks, then burst out laughing*
It’s a spa retreat!!!
*at Mobbex’s look*
It's a place where you go to relax and such…. Spend a day here and you feel like a new you….
*pushes Mobbex forward, he reluctantly enters*
Mobbex: It’s a woman’s thing to lie around and make pretty, not men.
*scoffs at the bull-crap he’s giving*
It is not…. my husband, Geoff, used to take me to stuff like this all….. *stops as she realises she’s said too much* Umm… let’s just go in… *pushes past Mobbex and into the mudbath/spa*

Hey there, you gave me a scare...I mean you..you gave us all a scare...I was just the ..one that.. found you is all. So I was a...How are you feeling? Doc said you had an allergic reaction to the meds she gave you. You went down pretty hard.
*Abbey tries to sit up*

*Abbey: Where's Oram?*

Well, thanks... for finding me... I appreciate it. How'd I get down here?
*Colt: I carried you.*
Oh... I think I remembered that. Um... Didn't mean to be a trouble.
*Colt: Wasn't a big deal. It needed to be done. I'm sure... anyone would've if they found you. You OK?*
Yeah. Been a while since this has happened. Last time it was really bad.
*Colt: Looked bad this time too.*
Sorry... But I'm feeling ok now. Just really tired. And a little cold.
